Russia has targeted Ukraine’s electricity grid in an attempt to break civilians’ will, resulting in rolling power cuts in Kyiv. Residents are adapting.
KYIV, Ukraine—With the electricity out, the Frankly coffee shop in central Kyiv had to cook syrnyky—Ukrainian cheese pancakes—on a small propane camping stove. Baristas made drip coffee and tea using a large vat of hot water, boiled before the power cut.
Sales were down 86% from a week earlier, when the lights were still on. The owners were asking a relative to buy a generator in Poland, as affordable models are sold out in Ukraine. They are designing a cold-food menu and lighting the cafe with candles.
